@@SlimShady044Gaming thanks. That will be the puck degrading as the shot progresses. So set pre infusion to 12 secs. Do you have the slayer mod?

@@SteveHowkins no I'm using the hot water valve trick to release pressure,

it does "warm" the cups and take the chill off. Not much more than that in my opinion.

I think it is 490ml

@@SteveHowkins cool, thanks for responding! Mine is 450 so I should be good.

Yes my zero collar is a different colour and texture white than the grinder. I agree its not the best but for the money I wont complain.

@@SteveHowkins but what about the paint of the body, mine has like shadows/clouds in it, like some spots are brighter white, it looks like fingerprints but you can not wipe it away. Maybe the dealer stored it wrong or the metal was not really prepared before powder coating?

Sorry, no

i doubt it unfortunately. I haven't seen it sold separately like with most grinders.

@@hash5191 I doubt it. I think you have to keep in mind the 10.5 they are set at is pump pressure and not at the puck. Without using a scace type device (which I’m sure someone has done) it’s difficult to tell what pressure the puck is seeing. With all the recent testing I think pressure is less of a concern for getting an enjoyable shot. Past talk has put an emphasis on 9 bar shots when in reality you probably won’t taste the difference if it’s more.

@@SteveHowkins Thanks for that, I really enjoyed your review on the SDB! I'll throw this in - do you think the Bambino Plus can produce the same silky milk as the DB or theres a difference. I'm wondering whether you can create same cafe quality coffee with the BP as you nearly can with the DB, or is it that the cafe quality is far superior using the BP or DB (ofc the grinder needs to be up there and other aspects like the basket etc.)? I'm just torn between them only because of the footprint!

@@hash5191 I think the BP can produce good results. The Db will have more power so be easier to get good coffee but I’m sure Lance Hedrick has done so BP videos and shown it’s capable.

@@JADE-hn5xy have only used Sony so can’t comment sorry.

@@SteveHowkins no worries, still a great video though. Thanks alot 😊

depending on the age of your classic there is a screw you turn on the OPV or you replace a spring. No I moved to a different machine before i get around to doing it

No need to worry about customer service coz you wont need it. I have mine for 10years in perfect condition without major issue or maintenance. Just replaced o ring and gasket thats it. Its great machine but somehow underrated imo.

@@danielrece9775 maybe my mistake. Whatever the screen says after I stop the shot, goes 😂

what has been your experience? why do you prefer conical? i’m looking for a new grinder with bigger burr. cant decide!

@@Valspartame_Maelstrom i got 64mm flat burr grinder and a 48mm conical grinder, conical one gives better taste, better extraction(atleast to me) and no channeling, you can't go wrong with conical.

@@pouyaedi851 I have the notte grinder (flat/50mm) can’t decide on larger burr grinder 63/64 to get. and i’m not sure i’d be able to really taste the difference I guess between cone/flat anyway .

@@Valspartame_Maelstrom 50mm is enough dude, i do not think you'll see any difference except grinding speed.

@@huzaifiat no stabilisation in any of the sigma APSC lenses.

@@Brian-hj8ke Pullman 17-19g with 18g dose. Will be a 2:1 shot I would have thought for a milk based drink. 18g in 36g out.

£400 is not a huge sum of money for a good quality coffee grinder these days. Also £400 is not loaded 😂😂

What is wrong wiyh you there are people who earn 400 in like only with 15 days work. And here you are thinking 400 for a grinder is not loaded. Such a rich douche with no understanding of the 99 % people in world

@@SteveHowkins didn’t say £400 is loaded I said you must be loaded to spend £400 on a grinder.

@@paulgal got you! Still a cheap grinder haha but I get your point. Not everyone has disposable income to spend on luxuries, I appreciate that.

Now the burrs have settled a little I may grind a few doses without RDT and see what happens. Anything to reduce the workflow is good thing to me. That’s true. Didn’t think it could be the moisture! That’s for the info on the noise. No damage being caused then, excellent. I did think about removing it but then there will be a mark from the grub screw (to be expected) and seeing that will annoy me haha.

@SteveHowkins yeah, the collar doesn't look great but it doesn't bother me really - to your point on the finishing, it's a shame they didn't make the collar or the fixing mechanism a bit cleaner!

@@briantaylor1595 I’m sure I’ve read it was a last minute addition to the grinder so that would explain the slight different finish and securing method. That being said it does the job intended no problem.

The adjustment is not specified but to me the thread pitch is quite large so it will not be as small as 5 microns that’s for sure. I have no issues dialling in though.

Which cup are you talking about? The Not Neutral Vero? It’s quite a small cup. Haha got to try all the shots! Not wasting anything in my house 😂

There are various versions around the world. I’ve seen a different version in Germany and there is the obvious Chinese versions too.

Yes, they have it in the US volts and its $400~ BUT without the SSP burrs. They use a different Italian made burr set.

yeah

Yes very similar, amazing value! Anything you want to see?

@@SteveHowkins if you happen to have a df64v id like a direct comparison between that, or the df lines in general. Also mopre specific to the df64v, the variable rpm compared would be interesting to see as well. Lastly, id like to know if its possible to blindbur mod the grinder in general, considering it has a decent motor. With the df64v, its possible to do a blindburr mod if you drill the side of the carrier and swap the screws for recessed screws from the rear and magnets.

What gear do you have now?

@@SteveHowkins I first upgraded the Niche to Weber Key (massive difference). Then upgraded the BDB to LM Linea Micra. I can go on about other tools but I don’t want to risk boring you 😉

You watched and even took the time to comment! I guess I should say thank you.

@@SteveHowkins I am not trying to be rude or anything. I have seen a few content creators who would post on various topics even though the views are not high. So just trying to understand how that works. How do you make it worth your time?

Thanks for replying btw :)

@@Mujahed0001 honest answer it isn’t! I don’t make any money but I also don’t buy like some to attract views/followers. I haven’t bought any video equipment I didn’t already own and everything I do a video on is something I was going to buy regardless. I mean a little return would be lovely but I’m not counting on it.

Indeed. Same as the df64 looks a lot like the Lagom P64 that came before it. Guess unless you break the mold not many ways it can be done at an affordable price for all.

I used manual I think.

Not bothering at all. So the pressure changes but I don’t think the flow rate does. That is dependant on the grind. So at 77 in order to get a 9 bar shot I had to grind finer than at 87 as the machine was doing the work there. If you want 6/7 bar shots then yes use a lower pp and grind the same. All trial and error really. Puck prep and the coffee used make a difference.

@@SteveHowkins got it. Thank you so much

Thank you

Yes that’s true. I have thought a few times about it and have watched the videos on how to do it. I’ve probably only got 6 months on the 24 month warranty anyway.

Yes potentially. I have played around but nothing really changed.

You’re welcome! I believe it’s a Rancilio Silva. Relatively cheap to purchase too.

This is one of the easiest to clean. How long have you had it and when did you last clean it. I’ve not know anyone have to grind that fine.

@@SteveHowkins It's a used grinder. I've had it for a year, and it's basically loaned to me. I have no idea if the previous owner ever cleaned it. I've never cleaned it, and I use it once a day to make an espresso. I have no tools -- if they came with the Niche, they weren't passed on to me. I'm not a mechanic, so I'm not the sort of person who dismantles engines and knows how to put everything back together again successfully. Assembling IKEA furniture is hard enough! And yes, the grind setting is currently at 7 (out of 50 possible settings) and I think it still might not be fine enough, so the espresso pours in 12 seconds with no crema now. I thought maybe cleaning might help, but I'm afraid I'll be unable to reassemble it. I also tried to recalibrate the Niche without cleaning it, but that made it even worse. Maybe I just need to ask the coffee shop to grind it for me.

@@attitune you only need a 10mm socket (think that’s the correct size) the rest comes out in an easy methodical order. Your shot is too fast unless you’re aiming for a turbo shot (suspect you aren’t).

@@SteveHowkins No, I don't want 12-second espressos. I'm not sure what's wrong. Could be the espresso machine or it could be the grinder or both. I still haven't gotten the courage to try dismantling the grinder. I'm the sort of person who can't even refold a map properly without getting it all bunched up.

@@attitune folding those is difficult though haha

Is that apple or android app? I used apple App Store with no issues but I have to say I’ve not used the device for some time so the developers may have changed bits or ran into some issues with releasing updates. I would reach out to them for further troubleshooting. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
